Most McDonalds will be closing early on New Years Eve at 10pm, however many of their larger restaurants will stay open throughout the night.

Some of the McDonalds restaurants set to be open before, during and after midnight include Leicester Square in London, Oxford Street in Manchester, Darnall Road in Sheffield, Temple Row in Birmingham and Lord Street in Liverpool.

Other than the 24 hour restaurants, many McDonalds wont open until 9am on New Years Day, however some restaurants, particularly in London will be opening earlier (some as early as 5am).

So if youre looking for either a late night drunken snack or some early morning hangover food then make sure you check which McDonalds near you will be open.

For the most accurate opening and closing times for your local McDonalds restaurant you should check the McDonalds store locator.

When does McDonald's breakfast start and finish?

According to McDonalds there is no specific start time for breakfast and this varies for each branch.

Information on its website states: The time we start serving breakfast in the morning will vary from restaurant to restaurant. You can find locations and opening and closing times for all of our restaurants in the UK using our restaurant locator on our website.

However, most McDonalds restaurants end their breakfast menu at 10:30am and then begin to serve their main food menu.

The 10.30am cut off enables us to accommodate our breakfast lovers and allow the customers who enjoy our main menu offering to get it before 11am.
